[Elecraft] K3 PTT RLS

[Don Wilhelm]

Chuck,

I don't recall the exact release timing, RF will always cease *before* 
the drop of KEYOUT , so the amp relay should still be engaged when RF 
ceases.  That is true for both PTT and QSK.
Unless you can create a relay that drops out before its coil voltage is 
removed, I cannot ever see a problem here.
